Get married in a gold mine, Nevada

Special fans will love Eldorado Ghost Town, otherwise known as Nelson’s Landing – a deserted town in Nevada, USA. Here brides and grooms can marry in a real mine location, with a tour of the ghost town and its sparse, barren scenery. Joni Moss-Graham of The LV Wedding Connection states: “At just one hour away from Vegas, this rustic town has an amazing array of old buildings, barns and props, like antique cars, rusted buses, gas pumps and even a crashed plane!”

“Ceremonies can take place inside the existing gold mine or outside surrounded by antiques and desert scenery. These location offer amazing photo opportunities with a ‘built-in’ vintage theme. It is truly for the eclectic,” she continues. For more info, have a look right here!
